One of the most essential steps for helping sustain a living environment for Planet Earth is having everyone adopt a green mentality.

From the cars we drive to the roads we travel on and bridges we cross, metal is an essential component. Likewise, every home requires metal for its construction and is full of items that are made from metal.

According to this video, there are only two ways to make that metal available: the dirty process of mining and refining or recycling existing metal components. The benefits of recycling ensure up to 70 percent of all steel used comes from this process. The benefits of recycling include:

  1. Keeping reusable materials out of landfills
  2. Reducing the impact of mining and refining
  3. Conserving limited resources
  4. Reducing waste and environmental clutter
  5. Generating cash for recycled materials

All these factors make thinking green and recycling used and scrap metals a great way to make an impact. C&D Scrap Metal demonstrates here how it has adopted the mission of educating consumers and businesses on the many advantages of recycling.
